PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
IN THE AIR AND ON THE WATER Whenever people are working at height, it is essential they have the right equipment to prevent them falling, or being injured if they do. Fall-arrest gear includes harnesses, lanyards, specially designed karabiners and other devices, all designed to keep workers safe from falls. For all-round safety, fall-arrest kit is often combined with high- visibility clothing and head protection.
Working offshore means staying safe in and around water, which can be just as dangerous as heights. The company can provide a full range of specialist protective clothing and life-saving equipment, including life jackets, immersion suits and flotation garments – all certified and tested to European Standards.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE The UK has been a frontrunner in wind energy from the beginning. Today, with the remaining Round 2 projects and upcoming Round 3 projects set to more than double the UK’s energy generation from offshore wind farms, the UK renewable industry looks set fair for even more success and expansion in the future.
As an experienced supplier to the wind-energy sector, OAASIS Group is ideally placed to support these exciting developments. The group can draw on over 150 years’ experience of providing PPE and MRO, and prides itself on exceptional customer service.
With 30,000 sq ft of warehouse space, the group holds over 40,000 products in stock on site. Its network of strategic supply partners located in the UK and globally means it is always perfectly placed to offer responsive, cost-effective solutions for supply and procurement to clients around the world.
SUPPLYING SHERINGHAM SHOAL Recently, OAASIS won a competitive tender to supply PPE for the 88-turbine Sheringham Shoal Wind Farm project, which is operated by the Norwegian renewable energy generation company Statkraft and jointly owned by Statkraft and Statoil. The framework agreement will run for an initial three years, with options for extensions in the future.
With the site now fully operational, Statkraft have taken over responsibility for operations and maintenance from their base near Wells- next-the-Sea, just along the Norfolk coast from Sheringham. Under the agreement, the company will support day-to-day operations by supplying offshore workwear, safety footwear, PPE for working at height and other safety equipment.
“When possible, we prefer to source product and service contracts locally,” says Sheringham Shoal Procurement Consultant Juliet Allen. “So it is always pleasing when a local company is able to meet all our tender requirements.
“We’re delighted to have secured another major contract in the offshore wind industry,” says Lee Sparkes, OAASIS’ Business Development Manager. “This latest contract award confirms our high standards of supply solutions and dedicated customer service to serve this highly specialised sector.”
PARTNER OF CHOICE
OAASIS is headquartered in Great Yarmouth, at the very heart of the offshore wind industry. The southern North Sea is home to a large number of offshore wind farms at various stages of planning, construction or operation, and has already provided essential PPE and MRO supplies to Scroby Sands, Greater Gabbard and Humber Gateway, among others.
Taking a wider view, OAASIS works in one capacity or another with the supply chains of most wind-farm sites in the UK and Europe. Clearly, the group is on track to become the partner of choice for protective clothing and PPE equipment in the renewable energy industry.
